the-agency’s players
John Kerkhof
Director and a Lead Sales Rep for over 25 years in the Midwest. John’s focus is on leading the team while maintaining an active role in the sales and service of each account within each category as need be. He is an active skier, cyclist, and outdoorsman and can speak with authenticity in each segment.
Karen Kerkhof
Lead Sales Rep for over 20 years and Business Manager. Karen's focus has been accessory and soft lines, but as anyone can attest who has worked with or for Karen, she has an infectious level of energy and passion for her business as well as the Outdoors that is truly inspiring.
Troy Chipka
Sales Rep covering OH, IN, and KY. Troy's love for bicycles started when he rode Vulture's Knob Mountain Bike Trail when he was 14. That sparked a passion for all things cycling and has taken him to ride and race all over. Troy feels that having this strong passion makes his job not feel like work at all, often saying, "I just get to hang out at bike shops all day with like minded people to talk about my biggest passion."
Bill Rehor
Bill Rehor: Now retired, Bill was a Lead Sales Rep for over 30 years in the Midwest. Bill is a key component to our success and our partnership began in 2007 with Giro where he managed the Bike side of the business. One of the most successful and respected guys on the road Bill is still a key confidant and inspires an incredible work ethic and drive in each of us.
